Well, Love, sorry you are insulted. I work in a Joint Service Command, and that's what they call them, Warfighters, covers ALL branches of Service.
P.S. Thank you for your service and sacrifices
I think I know where the first poster is coming from. "Warfighter" sounds like DOD-speak and causes a little skepticism from those in the field and in the fleet, particularly from those who have been told for years that they are proud SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AIRMEN & MARINES. By DOD-speak, I mostly mean all of that sensitivity and EO drivel that has eminated from the Pentagon in the last few decades, getting worse in the last few years.
I actually think "warfighter" is a pretty good term though, considering I want to revert the Department of Defense back to the War Department. Of course, when it was the War Department, men were men and women didn't try to be like them. O.K., I've got my flack vest on, fire away.

No flack vest needed unless, of course, you are headed overseas because I completely agree with you.
It takes an average of six people to support every person we put into actual combat. Six people to do everything from ordering the uniforms and bullets and toilet paper to sorting the mail. In WWII women performed many of those functions, from riviting the aircraft to flying them to re-supply combat areas. They provided a tremendous amount of that six-people support chain. If they got pregnant they went home and another stepped into her place.
Now, if they get pregnant, the unit is charged with having their six people, but can't get the job done because one of them is on quarters or rotated home because she's pregnant. The person on the battlefield doesn't get their bullets and mail as fast or efficiently.
Now, can I borrow that vest, please?
